Why It Matters
Good Oral Health is Essential to Total Health and Longevity.
Dentistry is Good Medicine
One of the best ways to safeguard your health is through quality dental care. Good total health starts in the mouth. Gum disease is a serious infection that can lead to heart disease, strokes, diabetes, Alzheimer's, and more.
Safeguard your health by keeping your teeth and gums healthy. Visit your dentist and hygienist regularly and you will live a longer, healthier, happier life.
Early detection of dental problems can lead to minimally invasive procedures that cost less and help avoid unnecessary pain and suffering.

The Science Proves It...Dentistry Is Essential to Good Health.
Dentistry is Affordable Medicine
Example One
Pregnancy & Oral Health
The cost of caring for a low-birth-weight baby in a NICU can run $3,000–$10,000 per day. Research shows that good dental care during pregnancy — particularly controlling P. gingivalis infection — can greatly reduce the incidence of spontaneous abortion and preterm delivery. Treating gum disease costs a fraction of even a single NICU day. Prenatal dental care is one of the most cost-effective interventions in all of medicine.
Example Two
The True Cost of Neglect
Good oral care can help reduce or prevent all of the following: Alzheimer's, stroke, heart attacks, and advanced diabetes. We shouldn't need to tell you about the cost of one month of care in a Memory Care Home, or the cost of open-heart surgery… but here they are:
Regular Oral Care Helps Avoid Expensive Dental Procedures, Avoid Unnecessary Pain and Suffering, and Prevent the Onset of Major Health Issues.
Dentistry is a health care bargain. A visit to the dentist is usually a fraction of what it costs to visit other health care providers. Keeping your mouth healthy may actually help reduce your other health care costs.
Oral infection — which affects over 70% of adults — is a serious health risk. The mouth is host to many different types of bacteria, some necessary to aid digestion. Infected gums, even minor gingivitis, swollen gums, or bleeding gums, allow bacteria to enter the bloodstream. This causes your immune system to work 24/7 fighting infectious bacteria that are endangering your health.
Too much infectious bacteria from any source is not good for your health. If your immune system becomes overwhelmed fighting your oral infection, it often has nothing left to fight other infectious diseases in your body. Gum disease or gingivitis is a relentless challenge to your immune system.
The good news is that once you and your dental team help control your infected gums, you may see improvement in your overall health — as your immune system can now focus on other systems and organs.
